The St. John’s Red Storm (16-12, 6-11 Big East) and Georgetown Hoyas (7-21, 2-15) meet Wednesday at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the St. John’s vs. Georgetown game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
The Red Storm are coming off a 77-67 loss at home against current-No. 19 Creighton Saturday, snapping a modest 2-game win streak at De Paul (92-83, Feb. 14) and at home against current-No.18 Providence (73-68, Feb. 11).
The Hoyas are looking to avenge a 75-73 road loss at the Red Storm on Jan. 29, although Georgetown easily covered as a 10-point underdog. That cover is part of a 9-1 against-the-spread run across the past 10 outings dating back to Jan. 16.

St. John’s at Georgetown picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgetown 73, St. John’s 72
Moneyline
GEORGETOWN (+110) is worth a look on its home court, as it looks to build upon the momentum of a rare road conference win at Butler Sunday (68-62).
The last time these teams faced each other, the Hoyas were on the short end of a 2-point game at St. John’s. Georgetown hasn’t waved the white flag despite being in the basement of the Big East, and it has been playing very competitive basketball for the last month.

Against the spread
GEORGETOWN +2.5 (-115) is the lean, although the difference between the money line and the spread is rather negligible.
The Hoyas have covered 9 of the past 10 games overall, including the most recent meeting with St. John’s. Georgetown is 6-1 ATS in the past 7 games against teams with a winning overall record, too.
Over/Under
UNDER 156.5 (-115) is the best play on the board in this Big East battle.
While the Over is 6-1 in the past 7 road games for the Red Storm, the Under cashed in the previous meeting with the Hoyas.
It’s all about the Under for Georgetown. The Under is 5-2 in its last 7 games overall, 5-2 in its last 7 home games and 5-1 in its last 6 games following a cover.
